Last November we said,“After this “wave election”, much of the mainstream mantra has been Republicans and Democrats need to work together to pass much needed legislation. That may be half right. Dems and GOPers need to get together all right, but their focus should be on preventing an egotist president, increasingly out of touch with reality, from continuing his assault on the Constitution.”

Will Schumer and the Democrats finally, if belatedly, stand up for the supreme law of our land?

Or will they seek, once again, to ingratiate themselves with a president who cares little about them, Israel or the Constitution? Time is running out.

— “Will Schumer and the Democrats finally, if belatedly, stand up for the supreme law of our land?” —

The odds are heavily against it, particularly in Schumer’s case. No one goes into Democrat politics except for power and perquisites. Schumer is the epitome of this syndrome. We who live on Long Island are painfully familiar with his habit of seeking out cameras and microphones wherever they can be found. (I’ve attended four high school and college graduations, and Schumer was a speaker at all four. In one case, he showed up uninvited, but the school felt it had to allow him the podium. He spoke for 45 minutes.)

In the larger context, there isn’t one Democrat who honestly feels constrained by Constitutional limitations on the federal government. They’ll rationalize any federal usurpation of power as “necessary” or “practical,” even if it’s expressly forbidden by Constitutional text. More, they’re aware of Obama’s vindictiveness and readiness to seek vengeance on anyone who crosses him. That serves to keep whatever vestigial consciences they have in check.

Schumer and the democrat leadership turned their backs on the constitution years ago. They, like obama see the path to communism through the tens of millions of illegal immigrants they’re welcoming into our states. It’s been forecast a number of times and we’re living through the moment when America is destroyed from within. In the first 200 pages of Atlas Shrugged I was angry that Americans had allowed their own country to become what it had and wondered how it could have happened. Then I turned on the news and realized we’re doing that now.

This cannot be a partisan issue. Watch Democrat Assemblyman Dov Hikind call for Sen. Schumer to do the right thing & lead the fight against this travesty: https://youtu.be/q8dgZHneD2Y As Jeffrey Weisenfeld said at the Stop Iran Nuke Deal rally, this is a perilous time for the US, Israel & for the very survival of the Jewish people, akin to the story of Purim. The question for Schumer is whether he wants to go down in history as a traitor or a hero, as Haman or Queen Ester?

The Democrat Party is long dead and gone! The so-called Progressives have destroyed any vestige of the party formerly known as the “Blue-dog Party” and chosen the utopian dream of “Can’t we all just get along, and do things our way, or else”. The folks who still call themselves Democrats are just kidding themselves and will be “just stunned” when they suddenly find out that “Yes, you too are being sent to the re-education camps to learn how wonderful life really is in Cuba”! Just remember that in an “utopian world” Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers are paid what the “Progressives” deem is adequate and everyone is equal” (aka: equally poor).
